Zara’s sharp words left Fitz feeling overwhelmed.
He couldn’t help but internally question Zara: “Yes, Grandpa did want to harm his mother, but doesn’t she have a part to play in all of this?”
“As the daughter-in-law of the Banks Family, she keeps reminiscing about the deceased man with the Wade surname, and even went public to bid on the house that belonged to him. Isn’t that disrespectful to the Banks Family?”
“Moreover, we are all adults here. Does hatred really matter? The Banks Family possesses trillions in assets. Just because Grandpa acted cruelly towards his mother, do we have to sever all ties with him?”
“Cutting ties with him is effectively cutting ties with the Banks Family’s vast fortune. In the end, isn’t that detrimental to us?”
“If we forfeit our right to inherit from the Banks Family, what will our future look like?”
“Let’s not forget, our last name is Banks, not Thorn. Do you really think Grandpa and Grandma will share their inheritance with us?”
Fitz could only voice these thoughts in his mind, unable to express them to his sister.
He understood that Zara was deeply entrenched in her views of right and wrong, leaving little room for compromise. If he voiced his concerns, she would likely turn against him.
Reflecting on this, Fitz felt disheartened and muttered to himself, “You fit the name Fitz better than I do.”
Agreeing with Zara’s perspective, he nodded emphatically: “Zara, you’re absolutely right. This situation is truly unforgivable. I can’t forgive it either.”
Zara remained silent, aware that her brother’s agreement hinted at deeper issues.
As expected, Fitz sighed and said, “But let me be honest, if we confront Grandpa, we won’t gain anything, nor can we impose any real punishment on him.”
After a moment’s pause, Fitz extended his hands in frustration. “Just let him face the legal consequences as you suggested. That’s unlikely to happen. The old man is always careful. Is there even solid evidence to prove he killed anyone?”
“Without direct proof, he could easily claim he’s being falsely accused.”
“If it comes down to it, he could always scapegoat someone else!”
“He has too many potential fall guys ready to take the blame. If he just whispers the word, countless people would rush to take the blame for him. Do you know how many pawns the Banks’ Butler has helped him maintain? Those are the old man’s safety nets!”
“Without the resources and connections of the Banks Family, we could never bring down Grandpa, let alone the Butler!”
Zara listened intently, and once Fitz finished, she replied, “When did I say I wanted to bring him down?”
Fitz countered, “Then what is your goal?”
Zara replied earnestly, “I’m accusing him. Sure, he has many ways to evade punishment, but you must realize that if I don’t speak up, he won’t even need to try to evade it! What I seek is justice! Justice in many forms! Not just outcome justice, but also procedural and process justice! I understand that achieving outcome justice is difficult, but procedural justice is within my control, and I must file a complaint against him today!”
Fitz felt overwhelmed for a moment.
He knew that, in reality, Zara had little influence.
The Banks Family had always carefully guarded the personal information of its members.
The outside world was unaware of the names of the Banks Family’s descendants, and naturally, they had no idea who Fitz or Zara were.
However, Fitz’s situation was different now.
The car accident in the Forbidden Mountain Tunnel in Aurous Hill had become infamously known as the “China Princess Diana Incident,” thanks to a video revealing the mastermind’s confession.
